BOOK DESCRIPTION
C# has recently been made open source and now supports cross-platformmore » development for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It can be used to create everything from business applications, websites, and services to games for Android and iOS mobile phones and Xbox One. If you want to build powerful cross-platform applications with C# 7 and .Net Core, then this book is for you.
First, we'll run you through the basics of C#, as well as object-orient programming, before taking a quick tour through the latest features of C# 7 such as tuples, pattern matching, and out variables. We also look at the features of C# 6 such as string interpolation, exception filtering, and static class imports. We'll also cover both the full-feature, mature .NET framework and the newer, cross-platform .NET Core.
After quickly taking you through C# and how .NET works, we'll dive into the internals of the .NET class libraries, covering topics such as performance, monitoring, debugging, serialization, and encryption. We'll look at managing your data with Entity Framework Core, developing code-first entity data models, and using LINQ to query and manipulate that data.
The final section demonstrates the major types of applications that you can build and deploy cross-device and cross-platform. In this section, we'll cover Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps, web applications, and web services. Last, we'll help you build a complete application that can be hosted on all of today's most popular platforms, including Linux and Docker.
By the end of the book, you'll be armed with all the knowledge you need to build modern, cross-platform applications using C# and .NET Core.

In Effective C#, Third Edition, respected .NET expert Bill Wagner identifies 50 ways to harness the full power of the C# 6.0 language to write exceptionally robust, efficient, and well-performing code. Reflecting the growing sophistication of the C# language and its development community, Wagner hasmore » identified dozens of new ways to write better code. This edition’s new solutions include some that take advantage of generics and several that are more focused on LINQ, as well as a full chapter of advanced best practices for working with exceptions.
Wagner’s clear, practical explanations, expert tips, and realistic code examples have made Effective C# indispensable to hundreds of thousands of developers. Drawing on his unsurpassed C# experience, he addresses everything from resource management to multicore support, and reveals how to avoid common pitfalls in the language and its .NET environment. Learn how to choose the most effective solution when multiple options exist, and how to write code that’s far easier to maintain and improve. Wagner shows how and why to
* Prefer implicitly typed local variables (see Item 1)
* Replace string.Format() with interpolated strings (see Item 4)
* Express callbacks with delegates (see Item 7)
* Make the most of .NET resource management (see Item 11)
* Define minimal and sufficient constraints for generics (see Item 18)
* Specialize generic algorithms using runtime type checking (see Item 19)
* Use delegates to define method constraints on type parameters (see Item 23)
* Augment minimal interface contracts with extension methods (see Item 27)
* Create composable APIs for sequences (see Item 31)
* Decouple iterations from actions, predicates, and functions (see Item 32)
* Prefer lambda expressions to methods (see Item 38)
* Distinguish early from deferred execution (see Item 40)
* Avoid capturing expensive resources (see Item 41)
* Use exceptions to report method contract failures (see Item 45)
* Leverage side effects in exception filters (see Item 50)
